Hi,
I've got rolling shutter concerns for a multicam shoot I've been called to supervise which is making use of Teslar coils to create an on going electrical arching effect in the background of the shot, with artists in the foreground.
The set is to be lit quite dark, but with the foreground being more pronounced than background action. I'd expect an overall exposure set for around T2 / T2.8.
The client has also spoken of their desire to potentially shoot anything up to 100fps, so with previous experience of rolling shutter issues with strobe lighting (Macs - which was fixed by re-timing) and Cooke S4's @ 100fps, I'm just wondering what could be expected, or if anybody out there has shot something similar. Lightening bolts anyone?
I'm aware that S4's have their own flaring characteristics, so the choice of glass isn't set in stone at the moment. Ideally, I'd like to get the DP to shoot some tests, but it's early days yet.
Thanks in advance.
